Gamma-Blind Fast Neutron Detection for Spent Nuclear Fuel Characterization

In this thesis, the development and testing of a system for measuring the axial distribution of fast neutron emission of spent nuclear fuel rods is presented. Emphasis is placed on the novel fast neutron detector used which can reliably work in extremely h ...

High resolution measurements with miniature neutron scintillators in the SUR-100 zero power reactor

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Fanny Vitullo

Three 1-mm(3) miniature fiber-coupled scintillators have been used to perform cm-wise resolution measurements of the thermal neutron flux within experimental channels of the SUR-100 facility, a zero power thermal reactor operated by the Institute of Nuclea ...

Metabolic and transcriptomic profiles of glioblastoma invasion revealed by comparisons between patients and corresponding orthotopic xenografts in mice

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Lijing Xin, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Marta Lai

The invasive behavior of glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor, is considered highly relevant for tumor recurrence. However, the invasion zone is difficult to visualize by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and is protected by the blood brain ...

Data assimilation of post-irradiation examination data for fission yields from GEF

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Dimitri Rochman, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Nuclear data, especially fission yields, create uncertainties in the predicted concentrations of fission products in spent fuel which can exceed engineering target accuracies. Herein, we present a new framework that extends data assimilation methods to bur ...

Synergistic ICRH and NBI Heating for Fast Ion Generation and Maximising Fusion Rate in Mixed Plasmas at JET

Henri Weisen

The studies of recent JET experiments in H/D approximate to 0.85/0.15 plasma (2.9T/2MA) in which neutron rate was enhanced by applying 2.5MW of ICRH using D-(D-NBI)-H three-ion scheme are reported. An extensive analysis of this novel heating scenario has b ...

Power calibration methodology at the CROCUS reactor

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Axel Guy Marie Laureau

In the present article, we detail the method used to experimentally determine the power of the CROCUS zero-power reactor, and to subsequently calibrate its ex-core monitor fission chambers. Knowledge of the reactor power is a mandatory quantity for a safe ...

The 'neutron deficit' in the JET tokamak

Henri Weisen, Mikhail Maslov

The measured D-D neutron rate of neutral beam heated JET baseline and hybrid H-modes in deuterium is found to be between approximately 50% and 100% of the neutron rate expected from the TRANSP code, depending on the plasma parameters. A number of candidate ...

Facile CO Cleavage by a Multimetallic CsU2 Nitride Complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone

Uranium nitrides are important materials with potential for application as fuels for nuclear power generation, and as highly active catalysts. Molecular nitride compounds could provide important insight into the nature of the uranium–nitride bond, but curr ...

Broadband excitation and indirect detection of nitrogen-14 in rotating solids using Delays Alternating with Nutation (DANTE)

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Marc Anthony Caporini, Simone Ulzega

A train of short rotor-synchronized pulses in the manner of Delays Alternating with Nutations for Tailored Excitation (DANTE) applied to nitrogen-14 nuclei (I = 1) in samples spinning at the magic angle at high frequencies (typically nu(rot) = 62.5 kHz so ...

Improved ¹H-[¹³C] and ¹H NMR methods for in vivo measurement of cerebral metabolism

Lijing Xin

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be applied in vivo to measure static or dynamic biochemical information, e.g., concentrations of metabolites and metabolic fluxes, using various nuclei such as 1H, 13C, 31P and 15N. The work of this thesis ...

Nuclear Spin Relaxation Parameters of MRI Contrast Agents – Insight from Quantum Mechanical Calculations

Lothar Helm, Oleg Yazyev

Nuclear magnetic relaxation in the presence of paramagnetic centres has gained increasing interest in recent years partly due to its importance for contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Rational design of new more efficient agents is possible as a ...

Design and performance of a DNP prepolarizer coupled to a rodent MRI scanner

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Jacques Van Der Klink

For most of the last forty years, the techniques of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) have been confined to particle-physics laboratories building polarized targets, but recently it has been shown that samples similar to a solid target can be transformed ...
